Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Manos Negras, Malbec 2009, stone soli select, An Altamira red to impress most palates
Manos Negras, malbec 2009 stone soil select, By Manos Negras SA, USD 20
www.not found whatsoever
A malbec from Altamira District of La Consulta, San Carlos Departament, Mendoza.
Impressive malbec with ultraripe black fruits typical of Uco´s wines. Only Barossa´s reds go closer in terms of such a natural concentration and balance. Ultra charged with coffee and dark chocolate too.
Hard to get away from it. Few palates will turn their back to this malbec. A 91 point malbec a little bit overcharged
by oak to my palate. To enjoy up to 4-6 y/o. Great value.
